I have reading about so much heartache that the members have posted for me the days empty my husband died from lung cancer feb this year like losing my right arm

my days now consist of hate hate to get up hate to go to bed hate watching TV because something will remind me he is no longer here Once a very happy person I now find no joy in life  I do know after reading these stories that others can feel this way I also know that time is a great healer  and I do try to look at the positive side of life and some times that is very hard so I take heart in words that were once said to me "Without death how can we appreciate their life"

It has been a while since I have posted. First let me say how sorry I am for your losses. My heart goes out to you all. It's now been 2.5 years since I lost my husband and still I miss him. There are still days I cry for seemingly no reason that anybody with me can figure out. A song on the radio, something somebody says can have me in tears. It doesn't get easier the more time passes, I just get better at not showing how I really feel. Holding onto my faith, the love and support of family and friends has helped me keep going. I kept a journal the first year and recently read through what I had written, and yes cried my eyes out. But it made me realize how much I have changed. I will never be the person I was, but I am more able to live with the person I have become. Maybe I have finally reached the acceptance stage of grief. I don't know. I do know I have passed the anger and guilt stages.

For those of you beginning the grief journey, remember you are not alone. There are many that can identify with what you are feeling, the struggles that need to be overcome. I have come to know many on this site who helped me through my worse days just by letting me pour my heart out without judgement but supporting me with love and compassion. Blessings and prayers come out to all of you.

Thank you Louraniah so much for your encouraging words, I will look in to his social security but I don't have a death certificate because he died in Cuba and we were not married.

Your prayers are appreciated so much and I'm so sorry for your loss :(

Thank you again, I feel like you know exactly what I feel!!! My therapist was right about me joining a support group :)

Lilliana....You should be able to get help from social security for the two year old They are supposed to send monthly checks to help you get   her raised. That will help out a lot with your finances.Try to take each day at a time and ask God to help you and be your strength as you slowly move forward with your children. My hubby passed the 29th of April and I am going through much the same thing as you are. We have to be strong for our children's sake. Will send some prayers for you and the daughter.  God Bless You...

I lost my boyfriend of 8 years to lung cancer May 29th of this year.  Our daughter is only 2 and everyday is a struggle, I feel weak and in so much pain still. I can't even visit his grave because he's buried in Cuba.  My life is so different since his passing, I feel numb everyday like everything around me is in slow motion!!!  All the antidepressants and sleeping pills don't take away my sorrow or make me forget about my pain!!

Yesterday October 6th he would have been 50 years old, it was an incredibly emotional day and to top it all off I was sent home yesterday on an administrative paid leave.  I don't know what I am going to do without him, without a job and two kids...I want to leave it all in Gods hands but it's hard I'm struggling so much with everything!!! :(

Why can't you live with yourself?
I am dreading the future. Everyday. Mom's birthday...Oct 19. My birthday...Nov. 21. Then the holidays.
"Orphan" is such an ugly word.

Thank you, Lisa. Its just beyond heartbreaking. I don't know how I can ever live with myself.

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
